      Dec 11, 2019 08:13:53 am
      Our final game before our trip to Qatar, I’m expecting a few changes.

      Still waiting for news about Lovren’s injury, but I wouldn’t think he would be risked on Saturday regardless.

      Alisson

      Alexander-Arnold
      Gomez
      Van Dijk
      Milner (c)

      Oxlade-Chamberlain
      Wijnaldum
      Lallana

      Shaqiri
      Origi
      Mane

      Subs:

      Adrian
      Van Den Berg
      Robertson
      Henderson
      Keita
      Salah
      Firmino

      LFC win ⚽️⚽️⚽️

      Should see some changes for this game; Firmino looks off the pace still, so should deffo be rested.  Keita building up a head of steam, so like to start again.

      Comfortable win similar to Bournemouth.

      Couple of times a year I get a feeling in my water, that antibiotics aren't needed for, that someone is in for an absolute tonking, by five clear goals.

      I'm hoping it's one of the times I don't need ciprofolxacin.

      10-0 for me. We need to close the gap on City. So we must outdo their 8-0 and Leicester’s 9-0.

      This must beat everybody mentality is so unrealistic. 3 points will do for me. Scrappy three points is also fine. Just bag the three points. I don’t care how.

      great that we play early it gives us a chance to put more pressure on the chasers. I think whoever plays will be chomping at the bit to do well and impress just as it should be. Don't think it will be that easy with the new manager bounce.

      Said in the naby thread, Id love to see himself and the Ox together, with Milner or Hendo holding for this game.

      Also no rotating of front 3, start them all then bring on Shaq & Origi for last 20.

      This should be a comfortable win, the only unknown factor is Pearson, but surely they can't have that much of a bounce under him, this is a terrible team at the moment and are ripe for a mauling.

      Watford been really poor though I am wary of team with the new manager high I just think the type of form we are round into going into the holiday period it would be hard not seeing us get win before we go away to the club world cup. I do think Klopp is going to make 3 to 4 changes to the side to keep the legs fresh.

      --------------Alisson--------------
      TAA----Gomez-----VvD-----Milner
      -----Ox------Hendo----Lallana----
      ---Origi------Salah--------Mane--

      Subs: Adrian, Lovren, Robbo, Gini, Ketia, Shaqiri, Firmino

      LFC win ⚽️⚽️⚽️

      This is about right. Three possible differences

      1. Not sure about Lallana. I think Henderson will start again.

      2. And if a kid defender is on the bench in place of Lovren, it would be Kijana Hoever before Sepp Van den Berg - pretty sure.

      3. Don't be shocked if Curtis Jones gets a full debut.

      I think Jürgen really wants to win the Club World Cup and will try to field his strongest side for both matches, if at all possible. The time between the final and Leicester on boxing day is sufficient to use the same XI for that match as well.

      But for Watford, I expect the same professional performance the team have been giving us. On we go.

      Think it will be very similar to as we were against Salzberg, apart from Gomez for Lovren and perhaps a change in midfield. Think Klopp will look to rotate heavily between the games in the CWC so probably a similar line up to the Everton game (excluding Mane) so we have the stronger line up for the second game and allowing us to go near full strength vs Watford. We are going to be having a game in hand so we need to make sure we don’t put pressure on ourselves by having to win that game in hand to get a bit of breathing space again, particularly with our first game back being Leicester so would be a risk to rotate a lot for this game.
      Get the win wrapped up early on and then take the key players off early in the second half.
      There’s been a bit of rotation lately so shouldn’t be much of an issue with the likes of Salah and Mane playing Tuesday and then Saturday, particularly if they are then rested on the 21st.

      Aye same here, Pearson will have them organised and difficult to breakdown. I fancy us to win 2-0 but it wouldn’t surprise me if it was close

      Just get the three points, to me this game is more important then this fifa club world cup. Which should be played like a pre-season thing like the “champions cup” they do in the summer. Need this PL title so badly. Just my input.

      There’s been a bit of rotation lately so shouldn’t be much of an issue with the likes of Salah and Mane playing Tuesday and then Saturday, particularly if they are then rested on the 21st.

      It's not that players couldn't play both Tuesday and Saturday (some will, including the two you mention, Mo and Sadio), but that we sent out our best XI (among match fit players) vs. Salzberg. We will again on Monday the 21st vs. Flamengo in a competition Jürgen and the club management really want to win, and also on the following Thursday the 26th at Leicester. What we want to avoid is the same XI playing five matches in 16 days. So the two matches to rotate in this stretch will be Watford on Saturday and Monterrey next Wednesday. You don't want to go too weak for either, so I expect something like this the next two matches:

      vs. Watford

      Alisson
      Trent
      Gomez
      Virgil
      Milner

      Gini
      Hendo
      AOC

      Mane
      Divock
      Salah

      Then vs. Monterrey

      Alisson

      Milner
      Gomez
      Lovren
      Robbo

      Lallana
      Keita
      AOC

      Divock
      Bobby
      Shaqiri

      However it actually falls out, the lineups for these two matches should give every one of the first choice outfield players a match off.

      Then we back to Ali-Trent-Dejan-Virgil-Robbo-Gini-Hendo-Keita-Mo-Bobby-Sadio for Flamengo and Leicester before rotating again for Wolves, Sheffield United and Everton in the FA Cup.

      Fullest fittest X1 for me, Watford are gash and will go down, not our problem,  they are just another opponent we take 3 points from and another step towards the holy grail,

                            Allison
         Trent Gomez Virgil Robbo
                         Henderson
              AOC                          Keita
                            Firmino
               Salah                     Mane

      Bench;  Adrian,  Milner,  Gini, Shaqiri, 
                    Origi,  Jones,  Elliot

      Ruthlessness,  is what I want to see early doors Saturday,  a opportunity to bag a hat full of goals and close the goal diff gap, not that we'll need it, but bagging a sh*t load of goals boosts confidence and makes us all tingly inside...so let's batter F**k out of Watford , love us to score 6 but a nice round 4 will suffice,  and another clean sheet.

      Think hes on about the City v Leicester game.

      Draw works for me too. It may end up that when City have everyone fit that they begin to win a lot of games on the bounce.

      Only worry now is centre half. Only 2 available to us and lots of games to play in.

      We are relying on Virgil and Joe to stay fit now for around a month.

      We have to win this game then hope City n Leicester draw. Because no chance are Norwich getting anything in Saturday

      Don't be so sure about Norwich, they are a weird team, if they turn up they can cause anyone issues, but in all probability it will be  an easy win for Leicester.

      Closest thing to a negative in our sea of positives.

      https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/377917-dejan-lovren-injury-update

      Klopp said recently he wouldn't sign a defender in January but it seems like a 6-month loan from a team on the continent that is out of Europe would be something to consider. No timetable for Joel or Dejan at the moment.

      I'm not worried, just part of our discussion here.

      It's a worry to me that 3 of our 4 starting centre halves have records of muscle injury. If Lovren is to move on after this season, then we have to look at a centre half who like Matip and Gomez are good quality, but have good records of playing 30-40 games a season, year on year.

      For now, I wonder if Klavan would come back on loan, Klopp likes players to bed in before being played, and that to me seems the quickest choice.

      Ha is right. Spent a few months in California the season before last, our runners up in Kiev year. Remember watching the games vs City at about mid day or whatever it was and I was buzzing for the rest of the day. Our league form wasn't too good around then so them days weren't quite as great.

      On paper this is a win, hopefully come 4:50pm it is on the pitch too.
      Maybe some more rotation from Jürgen, a side closer to the one that played Everton?
      I guess Keita gets a rest after two in a row, Gini coming back in.
      Maybe Milner giving Robbo a rest, with Mane starting a PL game this time.
      Jürgen knows what he's doing.
      Keep her goin lads, 3 points please and keep the pressure on!!!

      Personally I think that we’ll go full strength and that the rotation will come in our first game in Qatar.

      I’ve gone for 4-0. It’s gonna be against bus parker’s I think. Even if we score early I think they’ll still go for damage limitation rather than coming out to have a go.
      Wondering if we will just slow it down and try and keep it under control if we get 2 considering the fixture pile up. Or will we keep piling on the presure.
      Could affect my prediction somewhat.
      Whatever, it’s a nailed on win if we don’t show complacency and put a decent side out.
      I’ve got a feeling Bob may grab a couple today.
      Just keep the big red machine rolling on !
      3 points and move on.
